Description
In this episode of To North Bay With Love, we sit down with Katina Connolly and Dan Misturada from the Capitol Centre to talk about the launch of the highly anticipated 2026–27 season.
From major touring acts and sold-out performances to community theatre, visual arts, and the return of Bay Block Party, this conversation highlights just how important the Capitol Centre is to Northern Ontario’s arts and culture scene.
We also take a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into planning an entire season of programming, how the Capitol Centre balances concerts, local productions, gallery exhibitions, and community partnerships, and why the organization continues to thrive as a nonprofit cultural hub.
Along the way, we explore the history of the nearly 100-year-old building, the evolution of the WKP Kennedy Gallery, the growing volunteer program, and exciting summer events like the Cruise Series and Bay Block Party weekend.
